One Lonely Tiger

Benita Sen (Author)
Wordsmith and journalist Benita Sen is happiest when writing for children. Peeping over the decades into her own childhood, she writes all that she loved reading: fact and fiction, prose and verse, biographies, environmental books, and craft books. Some of her happiest hours are spent conducting workshops and story sessions. Between writing and more writing, she tries to help hapless dogs, cats and neighbourhood birds, to name a few.

He looks down where the forest was
And lets out a long, sad sigh.
'Where did my home go?' he cries.
'Where and why, oh why?'


The rapidly shrinking forest has a lonesome, friendless tiger who is left with only his own shadow for company. Whom should he play with now that all his fellow tigers have disappeared?


In the tug-of-war over living space between people and the wild, where will the animals go if more forests are cut?


One Lonely Tiger illustrates this urgent threat of extinction and loss of habitat among valuable species, and asks the pressing question: are our trees, wild animals, birds and insects safe amidst us?

Gorgeously illustrated and thoughtfully narrated, this book sensitizes young readers to the pathos and loneliness of our wildlife and the ecological crisis around us.

Protecting our forests is the best life and health insurance policy parents can invest in to protect their child's future.This is a charming little book, and I hope that the youth will realize the plight of our planetThis book playfully covers the moods of the jungle and also hints at the growing impact that human activities have on the home of the tigerA great way to sensitize children to the need for ecological caring
